I had a lobectomy on the last day of September 2023.

I still have pain and it sounds like yours. It moves around a bit, any gardening/bending activity stirs it up. Mine is under my left breast. I had a lower left lobectomy. It moves and radiates around my back as well. I think it is just nerve damage and that is why it comes and goes and moves. I am meeting with my surgeon this month. I am going to ask for PT- I figure a good PT might help. Lidocaine patches help a little for me.

I’m happy to hear you’re going for physical therapy. I hope it works for you. My pain feels the same whether I go to the gym or not. I’m seeing a doctor on April 18 and I hope he’s able to help me Please stay well
